    PLUS four subjects from the following list:

    880-103  Constructing Environments

    What are the structural principles and material properties that underpin the form and fabric of the natural and built environments? Through analysis, observation, experimentation, testing and review, students will explore examples and applications fr...     Semester 1, Semester 2     12.50

    880-104  Designing Environments
    This subject provides an introduction to how people identify needs and wants and devise ways of satisfying them through built or engineered manipulation of the environment. Students will consider the antecedents, processes, actors and consequences of...     Semester 1, Semester 2     12.50

    880-108  Virtual Environments
    To plan or design requires the imagining of worlds yet to exist. Drawings and models undertaken with analogue or digital media operate as virtual environments that articulate proposals for environmental change in the physical world. An understanding ...     Semester 1, Semester 2     12.50

     Landscape Architecture practice ranges across all scales of design, from largescale public projects such as the Olympic Parks in Sydney and Beijing, to suburban development, to smaller urban spaces and gardens.

    Providing a unique bridge between the design professions and the environmental sciences, Landscape Architecture offers creative opportunities to engage in core ecological, cultural, and social issues faced today. There is currently a worldwide shortage of landscape architects.

    Students of Landscape Architecture are attracted to its creativity and diversity, its challenges and demands. This major explores the practice, theory, history, and long-standing ecological sensibilities of the discipline.

    By the end of the three-year Bachelor of Environments degree with a Landscape Architecture major, you will have developed a strong base of design knowledge and technical skills across the landscape architecture discipline. You will be prepared for the two-year Master of Landscape Architecture program to become an accredited landscape architect
